The' - letter is as foilows: I hive Ilerived froiii a, person ) - connected with a high functionary of the'Fiench em "Ore the following facts: That at 'the last: ;two conferences, of. the Council of Miniaters, it was resolved to; try amiddle course on "theMexioart question, • - which gives , those fmintitera -disquiet ,who halire - beep:for the simple Withdrawal of the French fordes. It -seems_that this course consists in for Ming in Mexico ;a ,Franco:Anieriban - Party, , which , is to hoist as a - new standard the departure of Maximiliah,,and.the r&establishment of. tha-Republic, with Bazario as. President, ad: interim - Tints it is thought to etop the 'troubles_ of the; United:States. Absurd as 'this project may, appear; , there is room to doubt of,its existenee. . The :news .comes. , borne out hy -various-antecedents-the in -vinclble repugnance which NaPoleoit feels to withdrawing his fame without dissem blingtherninor which is afloat. Bautrio is.werking for himielf in Mexico, and ; the projeet being the theme of all `the French „employes and lunctionaries, who have for., some time been informing Napo leon that French army is looked on fa, vorably hype Mekicans, and: , that what they dislike is the monarchy and the incom petency of Maximilian. So I have read from private letters, which assure me this was the idea that. Barre tried to inculcate in the interview whichhe had had. with Napo leon. By the last ,packet .a chief of staff and an employe of the French. Department have gone out, and perhaps they go out to ' modify, in accordance. with this idea the in structions of Saillard, for the packet was even delayed to: ait for them: It is stated that the Minister of the Republic here is condescending to this Government even to weakness. Re flatters and praises it inces santly with real recklessness. Secretary Seward, ;March -41866; thanks Mr. Romero for this and other informations, contributing so largely to his knowledge of the 'events:transpiring with regard to Mexico. now Turpeeline is Made. A Wilmington, North Carolina, letter of the 27th ult., says: I arrived in Wilmington about sunrise. It is an.uninviting, dirty town, but is doing a large business. The harbor is good, and the wharves are crowded with shipping. Beside having easy access from the oceao,it has the connection with the inland towns by the river and three railroads—one running north, one south, and the other northwest. It is the greatest turpentine and rosin depot in the country. From Goldsboro' to Wil mington, a distance of SO miles, the country is one continual pine forest.. Then along the Southern railroad; until you enter South Carolina, all is a turpentine' country. At every station we stopped, on the Charleston and Manchester road, I saw vast,saumbers of barrels of turpentine and rosin, both in its crude and prepared . state. In fact, each station or seemed to Consist of,only a few unpainted houses and a turpentine The method of obtaining this turpentine is very simple. During January and Feb ruary, the trees are prepared for the pur peee. 'This is done by means of cutting a small boa near the trunk of the tree. Tale box is cut out by an axe, and is generally made to hold one quart of crude turpen tine. it is necessary that the boxes should be cut during the winter, and before the sap commences to run.. During the month of March; or just before , the sap appears, the workman begins to peel _the bark from the tree, commencing at the :upper end of the box, and making it cover t hefull width, about ten inches. As, soon as the 'bark is taken off, the sap runs down into the re ceptacle. It takes from five to seven weeks for a box to fill.' As soon as the box fills, the turpentine is scooped out and put foto a bucket. Each laborer .as a bucket and goes around to the different trees until hit bucket is full, and then he empties it into barrels for the purpose. About September the sap stops running, and the season is over. During a year, or season, a good tree will yield at least six quarts of turpen tine. During each season the bark is peeled off to a distance, up the tree, of about two feet. From twenty to thirty feet is a 3 high up the tree as'ithey can go. So a tree will yield from teu to filteen years. After the turpentine is taken from the boxes and put in barrels, it is ready for the still. The following will give you an idea of the construction of the turpentine still: There Is a large boiler built in a brick furnace. The exact capacities of these, boilers I don't know, but .I should judge they would hold from six to ten barrels. The brick-work is built to the height of about ten feet. On the top is a platform, and the crude material is ;hoisted trom the ground to this platform ' and then emptied into the boiler. Frem this boiler -there is an iron pipe about a foot in diameter, leading to a large wooden vat, standing. alongside the still proper. This vat is more than half filled with, water, which is necessary in case of fire. Connect ing with the pipe from the boiler is another one-constructed in a zigzag manner and extending down to the bottom of the vat. As soon as the boiler is tilled With the crude turpentine the fire is started in the furnace, and the liquid commences to boil.. The tur pentinearises in steam from this racle ma terial. The steam rises and;extends through, one pipe to the vat, and thence through the pipe into the vat. The water being heavier than the turpentine the two will not mix, and the water goes to the bottom while the turpentine remains at the top.,_ At the bot tom of the yetis spiggot and a, trough. After the water is runoff the turpentine de scends and passes through• to barrels placed underneath. The fluid is then ready for market: After boiling. the crude „turpen tine until :the steam. ceases . to, ascend, the material: in the bottom, is called ,As soon as the turpentine, ceases running the steampipes are taken.:off arid - the boiling rosin skimmed by means Ota wire; net at- Melted to along handle. This skimming is done for:the purposepf ,takingall. the dirt that collects with. the turpentine g while in the boxes of „the trees. As • sbon as it is skimmed is let off 'from- the boiler by meanspf a small pipe , to a large trough where, after it cools, it is placed in barrels -and is ready, for market a 150... This distil lotion of turpentine is very . simple, but re quires extreme care.,..Fire the great :danger: } ,TuRTWITINE TREES PITCH :AND TAR. t After a pine_tree , ceases to yield turpen- , tine,,it is cut down, and the fat knots burned .into tar or - pitch,. -,These. fat portions. are' ;split_ into: pieces, NarYing_in Pitch and . tar are, made by a , number, of theSe pieces, being placed together in suchlinianiter that; .when - ,they are set on fire the fat descends to, :a :hole dugin .the ground, and thence runs .through'a trough and,: becomes tar.; These', pieces; after being fired,nre covered over, with; dirt; and great care must be taken not . =to let them blaze while burning; If allowed to b•laze,,the tar would all be consumed.. , These ;trees also make the best kind of tiin-! bet., here it is called "light ladeatiSeit - makeagstich a brilliant; light While, Wining: TUr.TITRPENTINE PRODUCTION.
